Howdy, Gotta second the notion of welding a patch over the current hole and drilling a new one elsewhere. I had a trailing wheel on my 4 bottom plow do the same thing. It had a very jagged hole where the stem comes out. Now, of course it didn't have calcium so that isn't always the problem. We welded it right up, drilled a new hole, and covered the old problem spot. I went one step further though. I wirewheeled the inner part of the rim to grind the rust out and then put red body putty all inside of the rim to fill in any pits. It came out smooth as bowl of pudding and after primer didn't look any different from a new one. Haven't had a problem with that trailing wheel since. Got the notion from the boys here. If I didn't thank y'all then I'll say a big hearty Thank You now. God bless. --old fashioned farmer
